Mexican street food for Hastings events
About our Mexican street food in Hastings
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. At hospitality and crew areas and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
In Hastings, a taco truck adds colour and covers several diets. Send us details of the pitch and access. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Give traders a single information pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Put picnic tables near the traders
On the day, we work with your site team.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
Hastings questions
What’s the nearest station to Hastings for guests?
Guests can use St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 0.9 miles south of Hastings.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Alexandra Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will check the licensing with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

We cater in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Hastings to Royal Tunbridge Wells (about 23 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as St Paul's Church of England Academy, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. For visitors coming by rail, St Leonards Warrior Square station is about 0.9 miles away. Within about 2 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December market in Hastings loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us what power and water the site has
